This message is from 2nd Vice President of LLCGS, RON GADDIS QUESTIONS please contact him at: rongaddis@neb.rr.com or EVA BACHMAN at: ebachman@unlnotes.unl.edu Three Powerful Upcoming Events for the LINCOLN-LANCASTER COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY (NEBRASKA) LLCGS web site is located at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nellcgs/index.htm **Oct.12, 2004 1)** At our next meeting on Genealogy & Photography, October 12, our Past President, Dick Young, is going to talk to us about using photography as a tool for illustrating our family history. The recent advances in digital cameras have given the amateur photographer the means to carry out old tasks more easily and opened up new possibilities for camera use. All will find somethings of interest as Dick shares his knowledge on this subject. Together, we can examine old methods, current techniques and even future photographic possibilities. Be certain not to miss this program. 2) The Workshop on Saturday, October 16, will be a unique opportunity. I have never attended one of our workshops WITHOUT going home very pleased that I took the time to attend. No matter how much you know, after this workshop you will know more. 3) November 9 meeting is also very special. Our nation's history is an integral part of our family history. Fred Hoppe is an amazing artist and craftsman who casts historical events and characters in bronze. His work, including the Veterans Memorial Museum, will be treasured by generations to come as stories of "how it was back then". More later, but mark your calendars now, so nothing can crowd this from your schedule. Take care, Kathie Harrison LLCGS Website Coordinator http://www.rootsweb.com/~nellcgs/index.htm
